Hello Community, I have bbpress install on my wordpress localhost site to test some functionalities. Currently i have contango theme installed. My problem is with the search result of the forum. Search the forum with topic titles i have created result in a different display. The search result display only the first blog content of a newly installed wordpress and nothing relating to forum search.

Why am I not getting the forum search results page? but rather gets the normal wordpress search results page?

I am not a programmer but fairly understand the technical details. Can any one help me.

Hi All,

I’ve recently upgraded to the latest version of bbPress and WordPress and the main links within the admin (Forums, Topics, Replies) have disappeared.

The forum itself is working properly, I can get to the edit screen for each existing post by going to the public side of the site and clicking “edit page”.

I tried refreshing permalinks & going into the bbPress settings and re-saving them.

I had a similar problem on another site with different custom post types, the fix was to set
‘public’ => true when registering the post type.

Could this be the problem here?

Any help would be appreciated.

Just realized that the ‘similar’ thing for topics doesn’t exist. Your method for topics is correct, and you’ll need something like this after you’ve the $words array:

$words = array_unique( array_merge( $words, wp_get_post_terms( $topic_id, bbp_get_topic_tag_tax_id(), array( 'fields' => 'names' ) ) ) );
if ( !empty( $words ) )
     wp_set_post_terms( $topic_id, $words, bbp_get_topic_tag_tax_id(), true );

The top of the code should read as (to accept the $topic_id passed by do_action):

add_action( 'bbp_new_topic',  'shmoo_auto_save_tags', 10, 1 );
add_action( 'bbp_edit_topic', 'shmoo_auto_save_tags', 10, 1 );

function shmoo_auto_save_tags( $topic_id ) {

Again, untested, but should work in principle.

[Gautam Gupta]

Untested, but this should work (put it in theme’s functions.php):

remove_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_content', 'bbp_rel_nofollow' );
remove_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_content', 'bbp_rel_nofollow' );

If you also want to remove nofollow from users’ urls, add this too:

remove_filter( 'bbp_get_reply_author_link',      'bbp_rel_nofollow' );
remove_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_author_link',      'bbp_rel_nofollow' );

Hi,

I’m currently struggling with bbpress/wpml and my experience so far:
It works, using the unofficial wmpl-bbpress plugin – for 85%
Each language have their own forums.

Modifying the plugin (adding hooks for registration + lost password page) it works for 90% and I’m pretty shure that the rest of the issues with language switching can be solved…
.. till yo begin to add bbpress plugins:
working: GD bbPress Attachments, GD bbPress Tools, bbP Topic Views
not working so far: mark as read, bbPress Unread Posts

However, its unstable.
Sometimes – on very rare occasions – topics appear on the wrong language fork.

From WPML.org there is no serious help – just search their forums and get the picture how they handle this issues.

You may take a look at my test installation at http://new.openandromaps.org/ , it will stay online for some weeks.

I, by myself will probably set up a subdomain for the forum with ONE forum for all languages with sub_forums for the language forks.

Best regards
Christan

Thanks for the reply Stephen,

However I’m not sure the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] will help me.
My blog is at website.com/blog. If I create a page called called ‘test’ with that shortcode then it will be at:
website.com/blog/test/
Also that’s just the index page. The actual forum posts/categories etc will still be at website.com/blog/forum/*

Thanks,
Sam

Let me know if it works and/or doesn’t, Xenforo testing has been extremely limited.

I don’t use an iPhone or iPad but one of my moderators does. I count on her to keep an eye on this capability for me. Today she wrote me that she can’t post at all on either after an ios update.

Is anyone able to advise me how to fix this so she can post? If she can’t post, then others who use the website on their iPhones probably can’t post either.
Thank you,
Matoca

Here is her message to me:
“Today I did an update (ios 7.0.4) to my iPad. NOW, just like my iPhone, I can not post on the forum anymore. Hmmmm……so, now it’s both my iPhone and my iPad, but both AFTER I updated the software. NOW the only way I can communicate (write) on the forum is on my computer. And as I’m rarely home and if so, not often near the computer, I am not able to post often. Hence, I have not been communicating much on the forum – now it will be less until I get this worked out. On both my phone and ipad, I can read all the posts, it updates to the latest and greatest posts, but the keyboard will not come up to write to post.

I will try to go by the Apple store here to see if they have any answers, but as this just happened today after installing the “update” to my iPad, I did not really realize the problem was related to the updates – now, I’m sure it is. Gotta love Apple!! Or not…”

Hi Robin,

That has worked but with a small issue….the image is displaying far bigger than the uploaded file which is 75x75px. What do I need to change in that code to help the formatting?

This is on my test server but is the same environment that the final site will reside in.

Many thanks

Hi guys,

I’m attempting to import a Xenforo DB over to BBPress. It’s not too large (300 members, 4000 Posts)

When I attempt the conversion I get an error message.

Fatal error: Class ‘Xenforo_Not_Complete’ not found in /home/decerto2/public_html/dev/wp-content/plugins/bbconverter/bbc-includes/bbc-converter-class.php(39) : eval()’d code on line 1

Is anyone able to assist as I am looking at testing before I move my live board

Thanks

I’m in the “Import Forum” section of bbpress plugin – there’s no option to select for bbPress 2 (only bbPress 1). Or am I going about this the wrong way?

I’ll be making various test imports in the using wordpress’ import/export in the meantime to see how far I can get merging these 2 sites.

Can anyone explain how to set out my forum main page like yours here? http://bbpress.org/forums
you know with latest topics being the main content and forums on the sidebar?

Also it does not display very well on my site. http://cornwallautismsupport.com/forums/

[assylumn]

Hi All,

I am new to BbPress and have inherited an installation that seems to have issues.

When you select a forum from the home page it not only shows topics from that forum, but also random topics from other forums on the site.

This happens using the twentyten theme plus 2 other custom themes using different frameworks.

This is the original installation http://techiteasy.co/

And this is a clone of it on a test server with a different theme http://techdev.kemikalkitchen.co.uk/

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe this bug not appears if bbPress is installed before qTranslate. I’ll try an another install to test that.

Finally, even if bbPress is intalled before qTranslate, qTranslate is loaded first.

When I put a category id in the latest replies widget, the widget simply fails to appear.

It works of course when I put a forum id in it.

Please can you tell me if the widget is meant to show replies from all forums within a (forum) category?

Thanks

[Anonymous User 13302461]

The freshness shows when the post was made as opposed to showing when the latest reply was made.

Could anyone tell me how to change this please?

Thank you

You might want to check this solution, which also shows more details on the latest post in each sub forum.

Hello,

Thanks for the answer! In fact, this is no a display problem in admin menu, but rights (user capabilities). When I set the URL “edit.php?post_type=forum” directly in the addresses’ bar, WordPress says to me I have not the right to access this page.

After a “very” long debug, I found why this behavior appends. The qTranslate plugin is loaded before bbPress and sets up the WP_User via the function wp_get_current_user() and so sets its allcaps. So when WordPress object is init in wp-settings.php file to sets up current user, wp_get_current_user() returns the existing user and not reloads capabilities.

I fixed this problem in adding a param to wp_get_current_user():

function wp_get_current_user($new_user = false){}

and the same param to get_currentuserinfo() and wp_set_current_user(). I also modified the condition in get_currentuserinfo():

if ( ! empty( $current_user ) && $new_user === false ) {

and the condition in wp_set_current_user():

if ( isset( $current_user ) && ( $current_user instanceof WP_User ) && ( $id == $current_user->ID ) && $new_user === false )

Then I added the true value in param to the call of wp_get_current_user() in init method of WP class.

Maybe this bug appears because I installed qTranslate before bbPress. Maybe this bug not appears if bbPress is installed before qTranslate. I’ll try an another install to test that. It would be nice not to change the core of WordPress.

Hi all.

My apologies if this is a fairly rudimentary query, or one covered elsewhere, I did search but managed to only confuse myself more 😉

My site is:
http://www.gastronomicslc.com/

Running latest WP and a Genesis based theme from Studiopress. I installed bbPress but am having issues generating a coherent main page, I guess the forum root if you will. I followed the install instructions and made my forum root slug (foodie-talk), I also then made the foodie-talk page, however that doesn’t seem to work:

http://www.gastronomicslc.com/foodie-talk/

I have created two test sub-forums

http://www.gastronomicslc.com/foodie-talk/forum/general-talk/
http://www.gastronomicslc.com/foodie-talk/forum/ask-expert/

with a test post in each. I have yet to link to the bbPRess directly from my site while I work on this. On the foodie-talk page I have the [bbp-forum-index] code right now.

I imagine I have made some simpleton fault, appreciate anyone pointing it out 🙂

[Shmoo]

– Yes the plugin is 100% sure active and working because you can see ( red border ) the topic is reported , I’ve even deactivated & activated it again to make sure when I saw that error.

– It’s a clean copy-/paste from the plugin’s functions file. I’ve even added echo in front of it to check if there was a difference but both with & without echo have the same error.

Why I ask if a plugin function can be private or protected is, when I take a look inside the plugin function-file I see all functions wrapped inside a class which is pretty standard for making plugins I’ve seen online.

But I also see something like this:

	protected $version = '1.0.0';
	protected $plugin_slug = 'bbpress-report-content';
	protected static $instance = null;
	protected $plugin_screen_hook_suffix = null;
	protected $plugin_path = null;
____
	private function __construct() { ....

____
	public static function get_instance() {

		// If the single instance hasn't been set, set it now.
		if ( null == self::$instance ) {
			self::$instance = new self;
		}

		return self::$instance;
	}

Most functions have public function function_name() and the function I would like to use has only function function_name()

That made me think maybe my function it’s protected, so I started testing and searching online and did this inside my page template.

<?php if(function_exists('get_topic_report_link')) {
echo get_topic_report_link( $args = '' );
} else {
echo 'Function does not exists..';
}
 ?>

It takes the ELSE option so there is something wrong right.

___

This is what I did to kill for example the Merge link from the admin_links, preventing it would show up something else when called upon.

function shmoo_kill_topic_merge_link( $r ) {
	$r = null;
	return $r;
}
add_filter( 'bbp_get_topic_merge_link', 'shmoo_kill_topic_merge_link' );

I’m a Check Norris fan, when I change stuff it has to be NULL 😉

I know, I probably add and write too much functions-/codes of my own to alter the bbPress core but at least I’m getting it done right now and starting to understand how it works a little. In a few years I will be better ( hopefully ) and add more logic to my projects.

[Sreekanth Reddy]

I tried to install bbpress for several times . Its installing correctly but no links were displayed to create a new forum or settings.

One time it shown an error ” you have no sufficient permissions”

Please let me know where i did wrong.

Latest WordPress
Latest bbPress

Thank you

Sreekanth

[Kris35]

I know I can block them in WP Users – is that how its done does anyone here know? I tried this on a testname and no I couldnt click on the BBPress topics but was taken to the forum topic page (chat-boards/topic/another-birthday-looms) that has all my sites pages links on it? Urgh, it even has Membership Cancel, Membership Checkout pages on it. Anyone know how to either get rid of this page or take the banned person to the homepage or somewhere else on my site? Thanks.

[fisherofer]

i have multisite network based on the latest WP

i have to delete the plugin and only then i can access into to admin dashboard

[helmutwalker]

I just installed the latest version and it is running super sloooow. I’ve checked and it is not a theme issue.
